Joe Wicks 'proud' to be part of BBC Children in Need
Joe Wicks is thrilled to be part of the new BBC Children in Need campaign.
Joe Wicks feels "proud" to be part of this year's BBC Children in Need campaign.
The 41-year-old fitness coach is taking part in the Run with Pudsey plan, which challenges Brits to walk, run or roll their way to a marathon by completing two miles a day in the two weeks leading up to the BBC Children in Need Appeal on November 13.
Joe said: "I've seen first-hand how much of a difference support and encouragement can make to a young person's life. That's why I'm proud to be part of this year's Appeal and to be championing Run with Pudsey and Joe Wicks.
"Whether you walk, run or roll, every mile and every donation can help make sure more children have someone by their side when they need it most."
Every mile completed will help ensure children and young people across the UK have the support they need to thrive.
Claire Hoyle, CEO of BBC Children in Need, said: "Right now, we can only fund one in six organisations that ask for our help, which is why this year's Appeal is so important. It’s a moment when we can come together as a nation and show children and young people that we’re there for them.
"Every challenge taken on, every donation and every fundraising effort will help ensure more children have the support, confidence and hope they need to thrive."
Meanwhile, Joe previously cited social media platforms as the reason for his body confidence crisis.
The fitness coach admitted that platforms like TikTok and Instagram had started to warp his perception.
Speaking about the potentially damaging impact of social media, Joe explained: "It does change your view of, like, what is normal, what's kind of healthy, what's fitness.
"But I always believe that, you know, just focus on the basics sleep, the exercise, nutrition, and don't get sucked into, like, this vision of what you think is health and fitness, because usually it's not natural, you know, and that's what's happened to me with the algorithm."
